    so ive had my truck for a while now (bought when I was 19) and I cheaped out and bought a rough country. This lift hasn’t given any problems but I wanted to upgrade from a spacer to a full coilover. The only ones I can find are either only compatible with other lifts or are only sold in complete kits, thanks in advance

    Isn't a 6" Rough a DB lift?

    Doesn't that retain a stock (or replacement) shock/spring combo?

    Are you saying you added a spacer to the shock mount in addition to the DB?

    IF I understand correctly, seems you'd just remove the current shock/spring/spacer and replace with the bits of your choice.

    I’m currently on the stock front shocks with the spacers that came with the lift bolted on top. I want to do away with that and replace them with a single coilover to eliminate the spacer

    You can buy performance coilovers that have extended lower rod ends for your 6" bracket lift application. Replaces the factory coilover w/ spacer and should ride much better
